MP Teacher Accused Of Drinking In Class

A primary school teacher in Sidhi, Madhya Pradesh, has been accused of repeatedly reporting to school in an inebriated state and consuming alcohol on the school premises.

The teacher, Dinesh Kol, is posted at a primary school in Dihuli No 4 village under Sihawal Janpad Panchayat. A video purportedly showing the teacher drinking alcohol inside the classroom had recently surfaced on social media.

Kol has also been accused of carrying a liquor bottle in his pocket and drinking in front of students. On several occasions, he allegedly fell on children or vomited inside the classroom.

The school, which had around 200 students two years ago, now has only 28, with parents reportedly citing the teacher's alleged conduct as a major reason for the decline in student numbers.

According to the school's attendance register, Kol attended the school on only 13 days over four months. Despite this, he allegedly continued to receive his full monthly salary of Rs 52,800, with the cluster reportedly sending 100% attendance to the department.

District education officer Pawan Kumar Singh said an investigation would be conducted against the teacher and those responsible for allegedly recording and forwarding his false attendance.

The incident has raised concerns about the state of education in the region and the need for stricter monitoring of teacher attendance and conduct.

The decline in student numbers at the school is a clear indication of the impact of the teacher's alleged behavior on the community.

The investigation into the matter is expected to shed more light on the circumstances surrounding the teacher's attendance and conduct.

The incident highlights the need for greater accountability and transparency in the education system to ensure that students receive a safe and quality education.

In conclusion, the accusations against the teacher in Sidhi, Madhya Pradesh, are a serious concern that requires immediate attention and action from the authorities.

The education department must take swift and decisive action to address the issue and prevent such incidents from occurring in the future.

This incident has significant implications for the education system in Madhya Pradesh and highlights the need for greater oversight and monitoring of teacher conduct and attendance.
